Program Evaluation & Development | Awe in Museums & Public-Serving Institutions

Hello! I’m a Consultant and Postdoctoral Researcher in Social & Personality Psychology at UC Berkeley under the supervision of Dr. Dacher Keltner. My research explores how aesthetic experiences—particularly in museums and other public cultural institutions—can evoke profound emotional responses and enhance well-being. Most recently, I have worked with the California Academy of Sciences, the National Gallery of Art, and Stern Grove Festival to develop and implement program evaluation frameworks, research, and staff resources through an awe-focused lens. I am passionate about practical applications of research that help cultural spaces create more meaningful and lasting experiences for their visitors.

I am currently open to connecting with organizations seeking to evaluate and enhance the emotional resonance of their programming through a research-informed approach.
